What is the implication of not validating a patient? Once the patient completes the visit, the best case scenario is you that get a denial from the insurance. In that case your staff will need to contact the patient and get them to bring in the new insurance card. A very unsatisfactory experience for your patient. A more common scenario in this economic climate is that the patient is not covered. You will still need to contact the patient and then try to collect the money directly from the patient. The delay involved could run into months, each could take hours of staff time, add minimum overhead of $25 to your cost and still leave with unsatisfied patients.

alloFactor has integrated eligibility verification with alloFactor. alloFactor verification can be setup for batch or real time validation. With batch validation, system verifies all appointments the previous day. When the patient arrives, an icon immediately alerts the frontdesk staff to get the updated insurance card.
